Love Watermelon? Try This Luscious Neutrogena Color Stick

Yum-Yum!!

Who doesn't LOVE juicy watermelon?! We certainly do!

And now, Neutrogena has a gorgeous wash of color for your lips this summer:

Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick, Sweet Watermelon($6.97, at Walmart).

We really like the idea of another sheer, nourishing lip color.
.
It's more natural-looking. And it's NOT heavy like some glosses + lipsticks are.

Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick:

• Lips feel smoother and softer in just three days without anything on them
• Creamy color instantly moisturizes lips
• Packed with natural fruit extracts
• Mango butter continuously conditions lips

Feel The Rush Of The Estee Lauder Flush!!

Now we're talking! We LOVE a gel-based blush. It lasts longer and looks very natural.

We are 'hearting' Estee Lauder's newest blush additions:

Pure Color Cheek Rush ($28 each, at esteelauder.com).

Gotta adore these HOT flashes, er.....flushes of cheek color:
Hot Fuse, Pink Patent, X-Pose Rose and Techno Jam.

So very pretty right on the apples of your cheeks!

It's a water-based transparent gel that gives your cheeks a sheer, lovely stain.

These cheek rushes are excellent for summer, especially:

Tom Pecheux, the Creative Makeup Director at Estee Lauder says:

 "This season, I’ve been working a lot with what I call “acqua color”. It’s a gentle, watery look with just a touch of bright, vibrant color."

We give these sheer blush beauties the thumbs up!

Rita Ora And the Blonde Bombshell Look

The blonde bombshell is NOT an easy look to carry off.

Of course, Jayne Mansfield + Marilyn Monroe were two of the sexiest 50s types. Then there is modern-day bombshell Gwen Stefani, and as of late---
British singer Rita Ora.
.
The gorgeous 22-year-old star is of Albanian/Kosovar heritage. Check out the August issue of Teen Vogue to see Rita in her 1st photo shoot.

Rita talked to Teen Vogue about her signature blonde bombshell look:

"Red lips make me feel prettier and blonde hair makes me feel more glamorous. It's just my thing.".

Her fave is Lady Danger by MAC, ($15).

Do you LOVE Rita's blonde bombshell look?

How about those BOLD red lips?

Could you pull this off?

Messing With Your Hair This Summer? Treat It With Lots Of Protein

We all do it.

We all seem to mess with our hair, especially during summer.

Some of us want to go blonder, curlier, straighter,, and so on. So we continue to damage our locks over and over, again.

Of course, a healthy chop or trim is great for the hair, but you have to keep up a routine when you're doing stuff to your mane on those hot, humid, dry, rainy summer days.

A classic like Infusium Leave-In Hair Treatment is enriched with proteins + amino acids, things that damaged locks are thirsting for.

We found a BIG bottle at Walmart for less than $8.

Excellent price for an excellent product.
.

Infusium works. Period:

•Infusium 23 Leave In Treatment restructures damaged hair
•Enriched with pro-vitamins, amino acids, and proteins to nourish your hair
•Treats your hair from root to the tip
•Light formula for everyday use.

We're a fan. And if you're looking for an easy-to-use---not have to rinse out hair repair product, this one will NOT disappoint.

Kelly Rowland's Simple Summer Bronzing Beauty Tip

Kelly Rowland really knows all about the powerful hot, summer rays. She lives in Miami...."So I take care of myself when I'm in the sun," the sexy singer says.

Kelly doesn't want heavy, clog-poring makeup products while out in the summer heat, so she LOVES to put on this effective bronzer:

Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Mositurizer ($43, at LauraMercier.com.

Okay...not cheap, but the L.M. label is a great one, so worth the splurge.

"This sheer foundation acts like a bronzer and gives me a summery, beachy glow. So pretty!" Kelly says.

The tinted moisturizer comes in 4 other pretty shades. Plus has that important SPF of 20. Not bad.

Super beauty tip, Kelly!

The Half-Shaved Head Style Will Not Go Away! Do You Dare?

We've talked about this edgy hairstyle before, and it seems like critics pan it again + again, but the half-shaved head do will NOT go away!

Actress Rosario Dawson has recently let the razor do the talking up one side of her pretty head.

And then there is the new baby mama of Reggie Bush. Fiancee Lilit Avagyan tossed her dark waves around to reveal a sexy shaved head at the ESPY Awards last night in L.A..

And actress Carmen Electra showed off her stunning looks with a half-shaved head a few weeks ago.

We know, lots of hairstylists HATE the look, but it still seems to be a fave of the celebrity set.

This half-shaved head style takes tons of self-confidence with one's profile and one's self.

Would you let the razor take you to the edge with this striking do?

Kevyn Aucoin's Eyelash Curler Remains One Of The Best In The Beauty Biz!

Kevyn Aucoin was a brilliant celebrity makeup artist. Sadly, he passed away in 2002. Still, his line of beauty tools and makeup remain some of the BEST in the beauty biz, especially this one:

Kevyn Aucoin The Eyelash Curler ($20, at Beauty.com).

Lots of professional makeup artists rely on Kevyn Aucoin's eyelash curler. Even Mary Phillips, one of Jennifer Lopez' makeup pros, says this one is the finest for a few reasons:

"This is so effective at curling lashes and fits really well to different eye shapes. The curl lasts all day and the curler itself lasts a long time."


Well, if that isn't a ringing endorsement, we don't what is!.

We think Mary hit the nail on the head.

We have found that certain lash curlers do NOT always fit our deep-set almond eye shape and brow bone structure.

We are still looking for the PERFECT eyelash curler, and we are going to try Kevyn Aucoin's.

What's your favorite lash curler?
